Einstein On: Salt, Dr. Michael Alderman

Michael Alderman, M.D., professor of epidemiology & population health and of medicine and the Atran Foundation Chair in Social Medicine, discusses the April 2010 announcement that the FDA is planning a far-reaching effort to reduce the amount of salt in the American diet. Dr. Alderman explains why he believes more research is needed before salt guidelines are made universal. This edition of Einstein On, a research & medicine podcast, was hosted by Gordon Earle.
